Konnichiwa

7digitalWhat we said:Naming your solo debut ‘Greatest Hits’ might seem a tad hubristic but, as Skepta’s proved, if you’ve the talent to back-up your self-belief, things will pan out pretty sweetly. A decade on, the Boy Better Know-founder now finds himself at the forefront of the UK’s most vital music scene, with A-listers like Drake and Kanye clamouring for collaborations, and is now releasing a fourth album worthy of that greatest hits tag. Featuring the colossal singles ‘Man’, ‘Shutdown’ and ‘That’s Not Me’ – plus collaborations with Pharrell, Wiley and Jme – Konnichiwa is the sound of the Tottenham grime star operating at the peak of his powers. Believe the hype.
